BTSync Alternatives
I'm currently using BTSync (BitTorrent Sync) to synchronize files and folder across multiple VPSs and my PC. However I find sometimes it can get buggy (out of sync, etc).
Is there any better alternative to BTSync?
Real-time sync
Not resource intensive (my boxes are all low-end)
Stable (not buggy)
Has Windows support (my PC is Windows, VPSs are Ubuntu)
PS: I'm not syncing large files, just frequent read/write on small files.
Please toss in some idea. Thank you.

Glusterfs with sshfs mounts.
Synching.
Can you point to some tutorial?
I searched GlusterFS, is it like some file clustering system for large data?
I'm not syncing large files tho, just frequent read/write on small files.
I use https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing syncthing, With https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-inotify the inotify plugin for instant syncing
The reason I suggested glusterfs is if you wished to have mass redundancy with large amounts of data.
However, syncthing is a better option, though it is much like btsync.
I use rsync. Apparently lsyncd can be used to make it real time.
rsync + cron every x minutes will work well for this.
Would recommend syncthing or lsyncd.

Does this work on OpenVZ if the host hasn't specifically enabled "extended attribute" on the fs?
rsync?
I'm not sure, but I am currently using it on my storage box with @ryanarp and Catalysthost with no issues.
Megasync?
